Fans reserved high praise for Gujarat Titans (GT) openers Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan for their consistency in IPL 2025. The duo stitched together an unbeaten 205-run stand as the Titans beat Delhi Capitals by 10 wickets on Sunday, May 18.

Batting first, the Capitals posted a staggering 199-run total, with KL Rahul (112*) emerging as the top contributor. Arshad Khan was the most economical bowler for the visitors, with figures of 1-7 off two overs.

Thereafter, it was one-way traffic, as Gill and Sudharsan dominated the Capitals and scored runs all around the park. After scoring 59 in the powerplay, the duo continued their momentum to accumulate boundaries consistently.

The duo made short work of the chase, completing it with an over to spare. Sudharsan (108*) and Gill (93*) played sensational knocks to reach the first two positions, respectively, in the batting charts as the Titans also qualified for the playoffs.

Fans were impressed by Gill and Sudharsan piling up pressure on the opposition with their traditional strokeplay. One termed the duo as a future opening pair for India in ODIs:

"Never seen openers this consistent. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan just don’t get out. Would be a an dream ODI pair for India in future."

"Someone needs to sit down with Sudharsan and Gill for an interview and ask them to break down what they do," one posted.

"Have Gujurat ever been like 20-3. All you ever see is Sudharsan, Gill and Buttler smoking it everywhere. They’re so top 3 heavy but they don’t need anyone else because they never get out 😂," another tweeted.

"Whichever team gets the wickets of both Gill and Sudharsan in powerplay itself give the trophy to them right away," one wrote.
